[chef] notifies :before

I was wondering if someone had more elegant ideas for making resources notify another resource _before_ running itself.

I’d want something like this:

file 'foo’ do

  content ‘bar'

  notifies :stop, ‘service[foobar]', :before

  notifies :start, ‘service[foobar]’, :immediately

end

I realise this is possible with chaining resources. But I was wondering if there were more elegant solutions.
